Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 702

#702. something more precious than life.

* * *

If asked when the heyday of the Dark Dawn was, Rin could say it.

It was right after World War II.

Most sword masters die.

Of course, the world was communist.

There has never been a time in history when a black magician could run wild as much as he did when the entire human race harbored fear, despair, and hatred.

But found this underground.

After learning the truth about Gulag.

Lynn realized.

Maybe he was making a serious mistake.

Of course, it is clear that the Dark Dawn was strong at the time. In fact, he even committed an atrocity by summoning a demon and devastating Europe.

But was that really all there was to it?

Even before the Bronze Age.

running away from God.

The power of the Dark Dawn Society, which has been secretly gathering power for a longer period of time than the Seven Dragons?

and this moment.

Lin found the answer.

Was it not enough just to eat Plague Prince Pascal?

The demon god’s beating heart, large enough to fill half the stone chamber, devouring miscellaneous artifacts in the vicinity.

A sword master’s intuition that sent chills down the spine.

More than anything…

Pajijik!

“Ahhh!”

“Ha ugh.”

As if resonating with the black tattoo that floated in the demon’s heart.

Before he knew it, he saw sparks bouncing from Billy and Adolf’s spells that stood in his way.

He groaned and gritted Rin’s teeth.

‘…was it late?’

Just now.

My heart just swallowed Pascal.

It was the last chance when I hadn’t been able to fully demonstrate my strength yet.

Feeling that, Rin also tried to destroy his heart quickly.

But more than missed that opportunity.

It was close to impossible to break through the two sword masters and destroy the demon’s heart.

‘No, it’s not too late.’

Rin grabbed the sword.

Perhaps it was because the coercive force was still incomplete as he swallowed Pascal and forcibly stole the gourd.

Billy and Adolf are still resisting the spell.

So now.

There was still a possibility.

Even if it’s a life-and-death gamble.

Possibility of defeating the two sword masters and destroying the demon’s heart.

And in order to save the world, Rin, as the guardian of mankind, could risk his own life on such a gamble.

‘But…’

A belated realization.

two choices.

Complex judgments and agonies.

But that hesitation was short-lived.

It was because there was a sound of being pushed on the back before making a decision.

Perong!

“…!”

“Ainsha!”

A plosive tearing through the air.

A tearing cry.

Hearing this, Rin jumped.

Maybe it’s because the burden that I have to protect called Pascal is gone.

Even with sparks from his swollen tattoos, Gandhi stretched his fists faster and sharper than before.

In order to save Ainsha, who was hit by Gandhi’s fist and flew back coughing up blood.

A lion’s roar is faster than a

sword

.

The moment Rin’s sword vibrated.

What struck Gandhi was a wave like thunder.

The roar that condensed and flew like a bullet turned into vibration the moment it reached Gandhi’s body, twisting his intestines and making his bones vibrate.

Ordinary human beings, of course.

An attack from the body that would make even a superhuman of the absolute class vomit blood.

Of course, Gandhi’s body, which was stronger than steel, withstood the wave just by hesitating for a moment.

Quaang!

But that moment was enough.

Kick Gandhi and blow him away.

That was until Rin, who inserted the sword, pulled out a carving knife from her bosom instead.

Whoops!

The carving knife vibrates.

It is a blade of light that soars long.

The legacy of the Unspeaker Plato and the Seven Arcs.

Rin, who pulled out the Photon Blade, rushed at Gandhi.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Is it because of that blade of light?

Is it the power of a sharper sword?

Every time the blade brushed against it, the skin that could withstand even the sword master’s sword was cut and blood splattered.

Of course, Gandhi was not easily defeated.

Shed the blade with an exquisite winding technique.

Strengthen your bones and muscles with a sword.

While minimizing the damage,

by receiving the blade with his body like that, he neglected the defense and launched a counterattack.

Papa baba babat!

A reel of iron as strong as a mountain.

A blade of light that rages like a storm.

The collision of the two swords with the power of a single blow makes a roaring sound and scatters fragments of light.

In the blink of an eye

After hundreds of skirmishes.

It was the blade of light that seized the upper hand.

Although it may lag behind in strength and hardness, its agile and graceful swordsmanship, which changes countless times, thoroughly penetrates the gaps in the dulled fist.

But…

Kaang!

flashes of light

The knife bounces off.

The prevailing situation is reversed.

At the same time, Rin’s sword stopped at the sight of a handsome boy in a military uniform standing in front of Gandhi.

Fu-wook!

without missing the gap.

Gandhi’s finger extended like a spear and pierced Rin’s shoulder.

“lee…!”

“Don’t come.”

Perhaps it was because the shock of being hit by Gandhi’s fist still remained.

Even with blood dripping from her mouth, Ainsha tried to rush to help Rin.

But Rin stopped her.

It seemed like it went well.

No, it’s like I’ve been waiting for this moment.

Even with a hole in his left shoulder, he swung his sword and focused the attacks of the three sword masters on himself, shouting out loud.

“Run away. right now.”

“It’s not possible. Leaving Lee…!”

It can’t be.

Ainsha tried to answer.

But I couldn’t.

before she even finished speaking.

The silver flash that ran like a beam of light using the gap Rin risked his life to create caught Ainsha and disappeared.

Dig!

“Let go of Yekatrice!”

“Don’t say stupid things, Ainsha. You know it’s time to run away, right?”

“It is Yekathrice who is stupid! If we run away now, it will be very dangerous! You may die!”

Yekathrice, who had been running away with all her might by demonstrating the psionic power of time acceleration, hesitated.

Ainsha’s eyes shining white.

And so desperate a cry.

because it was told

That word is not mere anxiety, but a prediction.

Although it may not be a prophecy derived by reading the flow of cause and effect through the Thousand-Lead Prescient, the fact that the future is infinitely close to foreknowledge.

It was natural.

Fighting with two sword masters would be too much.

Not to mention, dealing with three people at the same time was an obvious suicide, even for Rin.

From the moment he pulled out the Photon Blade, Rin’s dragon psionics were being exhausted at a terrifying rate.

And even more so when you think of the demon’s heart, which pulsated ominously behind them and exuded an evil aura as time passed.

“But if you go back, you will die?”

I don’t know if there is even a team of seven dragons.

I can’t help Rin in this state.

No, to be precise, it’s not that it doesn’t help. Instead, the odds of dying are overwhelmingly high.

It was because it was so dangerous and reckless for those who were not dragons to intervene in the sword master’s fight.

That’s why Lindo evacuated the two first.

But even knowing that fact, Ainsha gritted her teeth and shouted.

“If you leave behind and run away, you will die together!”

“…is your sister so precious to you? To the extent that you want to die to lose?”

“Yekatrice, who has nothing precious, doesn’t understand even if I tell her. So if you want to run away, run away alone. I fight alongside Lee.”

Even though he is a genius, he is different from her, who is crazy because he doesn’t know love and can destroy whatever he likes for fun.

As a bride who loves him.

Any help is appreciated.

I would die for him anytime.

At the end of staring at Ainsha, who asserts infinitely foolish things without hesitation.

Yekathrice chuckled.

“Yeah, then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“What can’t be helped…!”

“Ainsha.”

Is it because of that calm call?

Or is it because of his facial expression?

I hesitate.

Ekatriche whispered softly as she hugged the white-haired girl who had stopped her shouting.

“-be happy.”

Fuck!

“…?!”

I’ve already suffered internal injuries.

Because it was such an unexpected surprise.

In a rapidly clouding consciousness at the cost of allowing a vital point in a defenseless state.

Ainsha saw it last.

The way Yekathrice held the deformed dagger upside down with a smile she had never seen before in her life.

And…

“There are some things that are more precious to me than life.”

Chow!

With the blood that spurts out.

…Silver eyes split vertically.

Supervisor of the Moscow Munitions Factory.

Ksenia was busy working every day.

It was natural.

While the aftermath of the previous revolution has not yet subsided, the confusion caused by LW products is brewing.

Also, all the factories in the Russian Khanate were working non-stop to prepare and mass-produce new products in line with the release of GOD Brad.

But Ksenia had no complaints at all.

Compared to the days when I couldn’t even work because I was caught up in the previous revolution, being busy in itself was a blessing.

It was also so rewarding.

‘Honestly, I’m a bit worried about the future, but…’

Various weapons that should have been exported to foreign countries piled up in the munitions factory.

Even though the working hours themselves are the same, workers’ dissatisfaction with the tight work piled up.

Such as the situation of the researchers who are tearing their brains out while trying to keep up with LW’s technology.

Ksenia, however, immediately shook her head as she remembered the matter that worried her.

‘The Great Khan will do something.’

He said that he only had to believe in Daekan and the Silver Dragon clan.

Ksenia, who became an active pro-government supporter after the last revolution, swallowed her worries with faith as always, and returned to work.

No, I wasn’t trying to be engrossed.

Kurrureung!

“…!”

…until you hear it.

That moment.

Ksenia hardened.

It wasn’t just because of the ominous feeling that passed down his spine, accompanied by a sound that made him chill just by hearing it.

because it came to mind.

I remember hearing this sound not too long ago.

It wasn’t just her.

Even the workers who worked in the factory.

Even the secret police who watched over them.

Kanado, a silver-haired maid who was working hard on behalf of the princess at the Bahamut company.

All the citizens of Moscow had no choice but to do what they were doing and stare at the other side of the sky.

just a few months ago.

Soaring from the Kremlin.

dyed the sky black.

The same endlessly fearful and loathsome black pillar as ‘it’ back then.

“Nonsense.”

Not Ksenia, all the citizens shuddered and thought.

That’s over.

‘It’ has already been eradicated.

The main culprit, the revolutionary army, disappeared.

So it can’t happen again.

But…

Boom thump! Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

their wishes.

I was brutally betrayed.

starting with the first one.

A roar that rang the heavens and earth in succession.

The first 24 gulags built during the glorious Soviet days, even before the establishment of the Russian Khanate.

From there, the sight of 24 black pillars piercing the sky made them collapse.

“why…!”

that’s where it all started.

It was the moment when the dark clouds that covered the sky over Moscow a few months ago turned the entire Russian Khanate black.

Rin and the two princesses go missing.

Electronic devices across the country are broken.

At the same time as the Russian Khanate was swept away by disaster…

It was the moment when all the aircraft flying in the Russian Khanate’s airspace crashed.

…including one of only seven dedicated jets in the world of the SDW X-17.
